17. Here's the deal.

"Whiteness" has changed over time. White supremacists missed that memo, along with the memos about treating people nicely, etc. Sooo, if you weren't considered "white" in 1850, you aren't "white" to them. Jews, Irish/Italian.etc. Catholics, and similar groups now considered "white" by our culture were not always so. Therefore, crazy white supremacists don't consider them white.
